Clarke’s side aims for a strong start in a tough group at home.
Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifying journey kicks off today with a crucial match against Cyprus at Hampden Park, Glasgow. As Steve Clarke’s team prepares to take on the Cypriots, the Scots are hoping for a positive start in a particularly challenging Group A, which includes high-profile opponents such as Spain, Norway, and Georgia. While Scotland has secured a play-off spot thanks to their Nations League performance, finishing in the top two in their group will be key to securing direct qualification for next year’s tournament in Germany.
Andy Robertson, Scotland’s captain, expressed his determination ahead of the match, calling Group A “the toughest group” in the Euro qualifiers. Despite the pressure, he and his teammates are ready to give their all in this opening fixture.
